Her most emblematic works include E.A.T Espace d’Autonomie Temporaire 2009-2010; her sculpture One Flat Thing, bringing together body and movement, or the magnificent Spativore. Her work is defined by a high level of precision and clarity.
Caubet is a fan of explaining her work to her audience, her inspiration derives from layered mythologies in the desert. Such visions are captured as if through the lense of a filmmaker, citing Zabriskie Point by Antonioni where the desert becomes a reference to the essence of nihilism found at the heart of American society in the late 1960s. Yet the desert is also a strategic space where the notion of emptiness no longer exists.
H A P P E N I N G met with the artist in January at her studio, where her newest works are starting to emerge from their initial sketches.
